Current report

▪Peptidyl Arginine Deiminase 4 (PAD4) Biomarkers. During the third quarter of 2025, we received conditional approval from the New York State Department of Health and commercially launched our new PAD4 biomarker assays on the AVISE® CTD platform. Anti-PAD4 antibodies have been found to be 35% sensitive and 95% specific for RA in a peer-reviewed validation study. Additionally, anti-PAD4 antibodies have been found in 19% of anti-CCP negative RA patients, helping to address a critical seronegative diagnostic gap. Beyond the diagnostic utility, anti-PAD4 antibodies have been shown to associate with increased risk for radiographic progression, a sign of permanent joint changes.

Current report

Research and development expenses increased $0.2 million, or 16.8%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase in employee-related expenses (including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation), partially offset by a decrease in outside services and other expenses.

Current report

Interest income decreased by $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents held in money market funds.

Current report

Interest income decreased by $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents held in money market funds.

Previous report

On May 8, 2025, we entered into the Underwriting Agreement with the Underwriter relating to the issuance and sale of an aggregate of 3,852,500 shares of our common stock, including 502,500 shares of our common stock issued and sold pursuant to the exercise in full of the Underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, to the Underwriter at a price to the public of $5.25 per share. The 2025 Public Offering closed on May 9, 2025. The net proceeds to us from the 2025 Public Offering were approximately $18.6 million after deducting $1.6 million of the underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by us.

Previous report

On April 25, 2025, we entered into the Credit Agreement with Perceptive, which provides for a senior secured delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $75.0 million. The Tranche A Loan of $25.0 million was funded on April 25, 2025. The Tranche B Loan, the Tranche C Loan, and the Tranche D Loan may be drawn subject to the Company’s satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, including specified revenue milestones (the funding date of the Tranche B Loan, the Tranche B Borrowing Date, the funding date of the Tranche C Loan, the Tranche C Borrowing Date, and the funding date of the Tranche D Loan, the Tranche D Borrowing Date). The Perceptive Term Loan Facility matures on April 25, 2030, and includes an interest-only period through maturity, with all outstanding principal and accrued interest due on the maturity date.

Previous report

The Perceptive Term Loan Facility accrues interest at an annual rate equal to the greater of (i) Term SOFR or (ii) 4.75%, plus the Applicable Margin, payable monthly in arrears. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, the Applicable Margin may be increased by 4.0% at Perceptive’s election. We may prepay the Term Loans at any time, subject to prepayment premiums ranging from 2.0% to 10.0% of the principal amount, depending on the date of prepayment.

Previous report

▪Peptidyl Arginine Deiminase 4 (PAD4) Biomarkers. We currently plan to commercially launch our PAD4 biomarker around the end of this year. We expect to gain ~8% in overall sensitivity for identifying patients with RA who would otherwise be serologically negative. This sensitivity gain would put our overall ability to detect the RA patient population at approximately 85%, far above conventional markers alone.

Previous report

Interest income remained substantially consistent for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Previous report

Gross margin as a percentage of revenue decreased slightly to 59.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to 59.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. We invested ahead of the curve in lab operations to accommodate the new biomarker launch and anticipated volume increase in 2025. In addition, during the process of amending our existing client direct bill contracts to include our new biomarkers, we absorbed the cost of running the new biomarkers even in cases where contracted pricing had not yet been fully updated and we were unable to bill for them. The majority of our client direct bill contracts have now been amended accordingly. We believe these factors are transitory headwinds and we expect gross margin to maintain or improve moderately in the second half of 2025.

Previous report

Research and development expenses increased $0.5 million, or 23.6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increases of $0.3 million in employee-related expenses (including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation), $0.1 million in outside services and $0.1 million in other expenses.

Previous report

Interest income remained substantially consistent for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Previous wording

▪Reimbursement for Our Testing Products. Our revenue depends on achieving broad coverage and reimbursement for our tests from third-party payors, including both commercial payors and government payors. Payment from third-party payors differs depending on whether we are considered a "participating provider" (have entered into a contract with the payors as a participating provider) or a "non-participating provider" (do not have a contract and are considered a "non-participating provider"). Payors will often reimburse non-participating providers at a lower amount than participating providers, if at all. We have received a substantial portion of our revenue from a limited number of commercial payors, most of which have not contracted with us to be a participating provider. Historically, we have experienced situations where commercial payors proactively reduced the amounts they were willing to reimburse for our tests, and in other situations, commercial payors have determined that the amounts they previously paid were too high and have sought to recover those perceived excess payments by deducting such amounts from payments otherwise being made. When we contract to serve as a participating provider, reimbursements are made pursuant to a negotiated fee schedule and are limited to only covered indications. If we are not able to obtain or maintain coverage and adequate reimbursement from third-party payors, we may not be able to effectively increase our testing volume and revenue as expected. Additionally, changes in our estimated reimbursements for tests performed in prior periods can positively or negatively impact our revenue in the current period and cause our financial results to fluctuate. In addition, in connection with our revenue cycle management initiatives, we held claims in the first half of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which resulted in increases in our accounts receivable and an accelerated decrease in our cash in the same period. As expected, this trend reversed in the second half of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 as cash was collected on billed tests. We held claims in the first quarter of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, which resulted in increases in our accounts receivable and an accelerated decrease in our cash in the same period and a reversal of that trend is expected in the remaining two quarters of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.

▪Expanding Adoption of AVISE® CTD. Since the launch of AVISE® CTD in 2012 and through June 30, 2025, we have delivered over one million of these tests. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the number of AVISE® CTD tests delivered increased by approximately 7% over the same period in 2024 and increased by approximately 14% over the first quarter of 2025. Revenue growth for our testing products will depend, in part, on our ability to continue to expand our base of ordering healthcare providers and increase our penetration with existing healthcare providers, and on the success of the T-Cell Biomarkers and RA Sub-Profile Biomarkers which we added to our AVISE® CTD tests in January 2025.

▪Changes in U.S. Trade Policy. Our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected by uncertainty and changes in U.S. trade policies, including tariffs, quotas, trade agreements or other trade restrictions imposed by the U.S. or other governments. Our business requires access to reagents and other materials to run our tests, some of which we source from suppliers located outside the U.S., including Germany. Any imposition of or increase in tariffs or other restrictions on imports of reagents or other materials, as well as corresponding price increases for such materials available domestically, if any, could increase our costs. We would likely be unable to pass all or any such cost increases on to our customers and such cost increases could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, including our gross margin.

Previous wording

In the meantime, we have continued to submit Medicare claims for AVISE® Lupus, appeal denials and responses to requests for additional information. On January 31, 2024, CMS released a coverage article under which all multi-analyte proteomic testing will be considered within the scope of the Molecular Diagnostic Services Program administered by Palmetto GBA on behalf of CMS (MolDX) and reviewed through their technology assessment process. The article listed several such tests, including the AVISE® Lupus test, and requires all laboratories furnishing multi-analyte proteomics testing in MolDX jurisdictions to register with the DEX® Diagnostics Exchange Registry and obtain a Z-Code® identifier. We were issued a Z-Code® identifier in May 2024. To determine if the submitted tests are compliant with relevant policy requirements, these tests will undergo technical assessment by Palmetto GBA as part of the MolDX program. That technical assessment is on hold until such time as an LCD is issued by CMS. In the interim, our current status with CMS will remain unchanged.

Previous wording

During the year ended December 31, 2023, we implemented several revenue cycle management initiatives, including among others, withholding the submission of commercial payor claims for reimbursement until subsequent quarters, increasing appeals efforts, adjusting the documentation required of physicians when ordering our tests and implementing increases to our patient payment rates. Additionally, in November 2023, we increased the list price billed for our tests. These ongoing revenue cycle management initiatives aim to optimize our appeals process and the potential for cash collections. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, we experienced moderate declines in test volume since the second half of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as rheumatologists and patients adjusted to these changes. During the first half of 2025, we saw a return to volume growth. The number of AVISE® CTD tests delivered during the three months ended June 30, 2025 improved by approximately 7% as compared to the number of AVISE® CTD tests delivered during the three months ended June 30, 2024 due continuing physician demand and adoption, early traction from our new biomarkers, and salesforce expansion. Additionally, the trailing-twelve-month ASP of our AVISE® CTD tests increased by approximately 7% during the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.

In addition, our AVISE® CTD trailing twelve-month ASP increased by $37 per test to $441 per test in the third quarter of 2025 from $404 per test in the third quarter of 2024.

Previous wording

Cost of revenue increased $0.8 million, or 13.3%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to increases of $0.8 million in materials and supplies related to our new biomarkers and $0.1 million in employee-related expenses (including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation) related to increased headcount, partially offset by a decrease of $0.1 million in shipping and handling costs.

Current wording

Cost of revenue increased $1.6 million, or 29.7%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to increases in materials and supplies related to our new biomarkers and employee-related expenses (including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation) related to increased headcount, and in facility-related expenses.

Previous wording

Gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased slightly to 60.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to 60.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to ASP expansion driven by our new biomarkers and improved overhead absorption.

Current wording

Gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased slightly to 58.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 55.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to ASP expansion driven by our new biomarkers and improved overhead absorption.

Previous wording

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.1 million, or 10.3%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $0.5 million in employee-related expenses (including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation) related to increased headcount, and an increase of $0.3 million in outside services, and an increase of $0.3 million in other expenses.

Current wording

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.3 million, or 12.6%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase in employee-related expenses (including salaries, benefits, travel and stock-based compensation) related to increased headcount, and an increase in outside services and facilities expense, partially offset by a decrease in other expenses.

Previous wording

Interest expense increased by $0.6 million, including an increase of $0.2 million in non-cash interest expense, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to the Perceptive Term Loan Facility that we entered into in April 2025.

Current wording

Interest expense increased by $0.8 million, including an increase of $0.3 million in non-cash interest expense, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to the Perceptive Term Loan Facility that we entered into in April 2025 and the embedded finance lease related to the Amended Supply Agreement. We expect to continue to incur this interest expense under the Perceptive Term Loan Facility.

Previous wording

The fair value of the warrant liability increased by $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to increases in the fair value of the underlying common stock.

Our obligations under the Perceptive Term Loan Facility are secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of our existing and future assets. In connection with the Credit Agreement, we have issued the Warrant Certificate to Perceptive. The Warrant Certificate has a ten-year term from the applicable issuance date and includes customary anti-dilution and registration rights provisions. The Perceptive Term Loan Facility includes customary affirmative, negative, and financial covenants. These include, among others, restrictions on additional indebtedness, liens, dividends, mergers and acquisitions, and affiliate transactions. The Perceptive Term Loan Facility also requires that we maintain a minimum unrestricted cash balance of $3.0 million and achieve specified net revenue levels on a quarterly basis beginning with the quarter ending June 30, 2025. In addition, upon the occurrence of an event of default, Perceptive, among other things, can declare all indebtedness due and payable immediately, which would adversely impact our liquidity and reduce the availability of our cash flows to fund working capital needs, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all covenants of the Perceptive Term Loan Facility.
